I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway and apologies to the author for taking so long to review it!
I'm not sure this book would have been one that I would have picked up in a shop or in the library but I'm very glad to have had the chance to read it. I found myself becoming very quickly absorbed into the life and world of Laegon and Irewen. Everything about them was so...elvish even though Irewen is only a quarter one. The kindness of the elves and the strength Irewen finds within herself to fight evil really make this book a pleasure to read...I will follow her adventures and I can't wait to see what happens for her and Laegon!

In my eyes, Miranda Hart can do no wrong, she is perfect in all her clumsy,batty ways. I did expect it to be a bit funnier but Miranda's comedy really comes down to her real-life experiences that a lot of the time are so hard to believe because you don't think that could really happen to a person.But it does...it happens to Miranda.
If I could have a dinner party with celebrities, she would be on my list!

I just need her to be my friend okay?!
I bought this book with great expectations. I was so excited to read it, not only for the kick-ass cover but for Kansas herself, a girl able to survive by herself for 4 years, taking down zombies with machetes and cross-bows. Give me more!
However, I was only a few pages in when I knew I was and would continue to be bitterly disappointed. First off, when Harley and co come into it, Kan is all, "hey guys, come on in to my little bunker, no problem." Hello, there has been a zombie apocalypse for four years, and if you have the common sense to survive this long, you should have the common sense to know you probably shouldn't immediately trust a gang when there are all sorts of terrible machete/gun/arrow shooting people out there looking for food and safety which you have! And if these people are staying at your home, why the hell don't you lock your buker basement door to prevent them coming into it in the middle of the night wielding guns and non zombie bitten wives. And also personality changes, Harley went to a nice guy to 'look at your meaty thighs guy' far too easily. I believe if someone is as disgusting as Harley, your gut instinct will tell you, and again, if Kan had survived four years already, she should have a gut instinct telling her if a person is good or not. Like Rudy, now he was good....yet she beat him up a few times. She needs to figure that out.
I sometimes felt like when I was reading it, that there were bits missing or some more information could have been added, maybe some description here and there, I'm not too sure, but something was definitely off. I read on another review that this was self published and while I applaud the author for doing so, I think this is a book that could have used some editing by a publishing house to scrap useless bits and suggest better ones to replace.
Also, why would you set a zombie on fire in a building that you are trying to gather...just giving yourself way more obstacles to try and avoid and survive. Ugh.
